st. Nicholas for June.

The new number of st. Nicholas
opens with charming frontispiece by
Frank Russell Green, entitled IA Day
Dream" 1t reminds us that summer
is at hand; and Frank Dempster Sher-
mans poem, "June,n leaves no doubt
upon the subject.
Those who intend going abroad will
not skip Frank Frank r. Stockton's de-
lightful liking London; while the
stay-at-homes will read it, and be able
to give points to the travellers on their
return. After perusing Mrs. Poultney
Bigelow's "Story of a Lost Dog" how
ever, 1t may strike the reader that, if
in London, it will be quite unnecessary
for humans to know their way about.
Though the musical season is sup
posed now to have ended, we learn by
"Elizabeth's Concert" that it has just
begun-at least for those who spend
their vacation in the country. But,
while all boys and girls are ready for
vacation at this time, some must be
getting "Ready for Business; to these
George j. Manson's article on "a
Banker and Broker" will prove very
interesting. Curiously enough, there
are some young men who will camp out
this summer, by way of getting ready
for business. They are the West Point
cadets, and their life in camp is capital
ly described in "Winning a Commits
sion, y by Lientenant George I. Putnam;
while General Adam Badeau shows
what an unpleasant businss theirs may
be in his stirring paper on "Sheridan in
the Valley"
The story of "The Child-Princess,
Charlotte" is cleverly told by Ellen M.
Hutchinson, and there are some in
teresting items in Editorial Notes"
about another historic maiden, Grizel
Cochrane, whose story was told in the
February number. "Juan and Juanita"
and "Jenny's clearinghouse" grow
better as they grow older; the Brown
les" have an adventure with beehive,
and there is a great deal more than
there is room to tell of.
Lippincott's Magazine for June opens
with "The Whistling Buoy" a novel
by Charles Barnard, author of "The
Tone Masters" 1.-THE Soprano" and
is breezy tale of sea and shore, full of
StIIIIHS luCfuOHt dilU duN0utuT6. MIS-
Margaret J. Preston furnishes "Some
Records of Philip Bourke Marston,"
which contain many letters from the
poet of great interest and literary value.
The Wistar parties of Philadelphia,
which were once as famous abroad as at
home, and which have recently been
revived, form the subject of chatty
and entertaining sketch by Miss Anne
HI. Wharton. 'The Exchanged Cru
sader," by William Ashcourt, is an
ingenious and brilliant trifie somewhat
after the manner of Frank Stockton's
extravaganzas. J. William White, M.
D., Professor of Athletics in the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, contributes a
timely and sensible article, IA Physi-
clans View of Exercise and Athletics"
which should be widely read not only
by young people but by their elders

Monthly Gossip" Miss Louise Stock
ton has q bright and humorous paper,
entitled "The Germ Theory of Ideas"
